Lewisburg Elks Country Club

Lewisburg Elks Country Club occupies rolling terrain in the Greenbrier Valley of southeastern West Virginia, near the historic town of Lewisburg. The course was designed by Ed Ault with contributions from Tom Clark, both architects known for their work on accessible, traditional layouts across the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions during the latter half of the twentieth century. Ault's portfolio includes numerous courses throughout West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and neighboring states, typically emphasizing playability while working with the natural contours of the land. The routing takes advantage of the area's characteristic topography, with elevation changes and tree-lined fairways that reflect the region's hardwood forest setting. The Greenbrier Valley's moderate climate and fertile soils support well-conditioned turf, and the course layout generally rewards accurate placement over pure distance. Holes move through a mix of open and wooded corridors, with greens that feature modest undulation appropriate to the course's community-oriented mission. As an Elks lodge facility, the club serves both members and their guests in a fraternal organization context, providing a social and recreational hub for the local community. The clubhouse supports the traditional Elks emphasis on fellowship and service, with dining and event spaces that complement the golf amenities. Lewisburg itself is a small Appalachian town with deep historical roots, and the club reflects the unpretentious, welcoming character typical of rural West Virginia golf venues.
